I will unite NDC after July congress – Nana Konadu

Nana Konadu Agyemang Rawlings, one of the aspiring presidential candidates of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has expressed her preparedness to unite the NDC if she emerges as the presidential candidate of the party at its July congress.

She noted that the ugly situation where some leading party members broke away from the NDC after congresses would be a thing of the past under her administration as the flag bearer.

Mr Kofi Adams, spokesperson for Nana Konadu, who made this known to the Daily Graphic in Accra in an interview stated that the party had always been the loser whenever such leaders, as well as ordinary members resigned or defected to other political parties .
He recounted some of the leading members of the party such as Mr Kofi Asante, Dr Obed Yao Asamoah, Goosie Tandoh, among others, who resigned from the NDC to form their own parties.

He said Mrs Rawlings would also use her motherly love and her excellent leadership to bring all persons who due to certain unfortunate developments had resigned from the NDC.

Mr Adams described the on-going campaign to get Nana Konadu elected as the flag bearer of the NDC as very sucessful, positive and progressive because members of the party who were initially afraid and reluctant to associate with the team were now rooting for her.

He said Mrs Rawlings was contesting for the position to lead the party to strengthen the structures of the party, as well as provide sterling and inspiring leadership.

Mr Adams said Mrs Rawlings was imbued with the requisite skills and demeanour to effectively ensure that the marriage between the government and the party was properly enhanced.

He explained that because every government was given birth to by a political party through its manifesto, such a government must not be seen to be straying from the ideology, policies and the programmes of the party.

Mr Adams, who is also the Deputy General Secretary of the NDC, said he was hurling the Eastern Regional Minister, Dr Kwasi Akyem Apea-Kubi, before the disciplinary committee for stating that he would use all possible means to ensure that all those from the region voted for President Mills at the congress.
